We are a not-for-profit organization that promotes and nurtures the career development of young professionals in Fairfield County Connecticut, Westchester County, and New York. All are welcome.
And just like that, we are deep into the New Year! We hope everyone has enjoyed these winter months and are looking forward to the upcoming Spring.
We recently held our second event of the year in Stamford, at Fiesta on Main. The night was filled with delicious drinks, exceptional food and great people.
There were many, many new faces in attendance, which led to great networking opportunities. Victor from Fiesta on Main, as well the rest of the staff were extremely accommodating and provided us with both a great venue and platter of Peruvian foods.
As one of YPG’s goals for the New Year, the organization is working to continue giving back to our communities. In February, we helped fulfill this mission. We had the great pleasure of teaming up with the New Covenant House and asked our members to bring non-perishable food items to help out others in need. We are glad to report back that we filled many boxes and bags worth of food!
If you were unable to attend the event or just want to continue to give back, the New Covenant House is always looking for food donations, as well as volunteers! As of recent, they are looking for canned soups, evaporated milk and canned sardines. Be sure to check their website at https://www.newcovenantcenter.org/.
Besides a full room of new faces, networking and giving back to our communities, the night still had more to offer! The YPG Board is proud to announce that Prem Itharat was named as the new President of YPG, replacing former President Ken Jacobi. Auste Kuncas will be taking over as Vice President.
We would like to thank Ken for his leadership, hard work and dedication to YPG over the past several years! Ken has done an exceptional job bringing together a talented and diverse group of people, as well as providing a platform for networking and charity. Thank you Ken for everything you have done for the benefit of YPG.
We welcome Prem and Auste in their new roles and are excited to have them continue to bring YPG to the next level!
